Muhlenberg teams and athletes rank among the national leaders in several
categories early in the 2003 season. All statistics are through games of
last weekend.

In field hockey, the undefeated Mules are tied for the lead in winning
percentage (1.000) and tied for ninth in scoring defense (0.40 goals per
game). Junior Kristen Bruschi is tied for sixth in goals
(seven), and freshman goalie Lauren Schram ranks 13th in
goals-against average (0.40).

Defense is repsonsible for both of the mens soccer teams
appearances in the national rankings. Junior Chris Davis(left) is 12th in
goals-against average (0.23), and the team is tied for 13th (0.20).

Although it has only played one game, the football team shows up three
times among the statistical leaders. The Mules are 13th in pass efficiency
defense, with a 55.3 ranking, and junior Dan Walker is tied for
ninth in tackles per game (15.0). Senior Kodi Shay is tied for
fifth in Division III with his kickoff-return average of 49.0.

Due to the anticipated effects of Hurricane Isabel, Muhlenbergs
football game at Christopher Newport scheduled for Saturday, September 20,
has been postponed
one day to Sunday, September 21. The time for opening kickoff remains
1:00.

Christopher Newport is located in Newport News, Va., right on the
Chesapeake Bay and about 200 miles north of the North Carolina coast where
Isabel is expected to make landfall. The city is currently under a
hurricane warning.

When the game is finally played, it will match two teams that were their
conferences representatives to the NCAA Tournament last year.
Muhlenberg shared the Centennial Conference title and advanced to the
second round of the NCAAs, while Christopher Newport won the Dixie (now
USA South) Conference before falling to Washington & Jefferson in an NCAA
first-round game.

The Mules dropped their season-opening game at Kings Point, 22-14, two
weeks ago. The Captains split their first two contests, falling to Rowan,
21-0, before edging defending Centennial Conference co-champion McDaniel,
7-6.
